As you know, here at Sub It Club we are all about submitting work well! We are truly happy to see the growth of all of our members as they work towards their goals. Whether you have been learning to write that first query letter, are trading with critique partners and polishing up your manuscript, getting out your illustration postcards, submitting to agents or editors, or any of the million little things that have to be done to submit your work, we are proud of you! Of course, obtaining representation and publication are the big milestones that we strive for our efforts to lead to. Many of our members signed with agents, sold books, and were published in 2015! Let’s celebrate this great news from our Sub It Club members!

Linda Budzinski‘s YA romance novel, EM & EM, came out in September with Swoon Romance. She also signed with Swoon for her next novel, THE BOYFRIEND WHISPERER. It’s due for publication this fall 2016. THE BOYFRIEND WHISPERER won two 2015 Romance Writers of America awards: the Virginia Chapter’s Fool for Love award and the YA Chapter’s Rosemary award!

Heather Davis had a poem accepted for an eco-justice anthology being published by a major university press.

Laurie signed with agent Mary Sue Seymour for her adult inspirational novels. She also signed a 3-book contract for an Amish series, SISTERS & FRIENDS, writing as Rachel J. Good. The first book, CHANGE OF HEART, comes out May 2016. The second, BURIED SECRETS, will release Fall 2016, followed by, GIFT FROM ABOVE, in Spring 2017.

Danielle Kozasaur‘s submission has been chosen for a book entitled MOTHERS, MILITARY, and SOCIETY to be published by Demeter Press in 2017. Her chapter is preliminarily titled “Choosing Motherhood in the U.S. Air Force.”

Donna L. Martin‘s debut picture book, THE STORY CATCHER, was released by Anaiah Press in January.

Gina Perry‘s debut as an illustrator for trade picture books, SO WHAT SHOULD DAD BE?, written by Dan Bar-el will be published by Tundra in Spring of 2017. Her author/illustrator debut picture book, SMALL, will be published by Little Bee Books in Fall of 2017.

Marcie Wessels‘ debut picture book, PIRATE’S LULLABY: MUTINY AT BEDTIME, illustrated by Tim Bowers, was published by Doubleday BFYR in August 2015! Her book was also selected as one of the top ten rhyming picture books for the Best in Rhyme Award 2015 chosen by the RhyMoPiBo award committee.

Let’s support our fellow Sub It Clubbers and their successes! Of course, you can buy their books but there are other ways to be supportive too. Add their books to your “to read” list on Goodreads, make a purchase request for their book at your local library, write a book review or share about a book on social media. Follow each other on social media!

Here’s to another great year to all of you who take part in Sub It Club. We wish you all success in 2016!
